transformation of cities. There is a growing need for our cities to
be transformed into "smart" cities; in this regard, tremendous
efforts are called for in order to face the environmental
challenges that play a major role in the creation or transformation
of cities and environments. This book covers a broad range of
applications and approaches that are "smart" and "resilient,"
which, when combined, offer much more flexibility concerning the
future of our cities. Consequently, this simple combination, which
is producing sweeping changes around the globe, has attracted
considerable attention from scholars and decision-makers alike.
